The man sleeps

Rode the train last night (again) in my dreams. I have no clue where I was going or, for that matter, why I was headed there.  I made this same trip last week, in my dreams.  I was not afraid, but the tone of the ride was perilous. Others were definitely afraid, some cowering. I sat quietly watching the scenery pass by in my bonnet and Sunday dress.  We are North bound, the track is windy and old.  Sometimes, we come to almost a complete stop. The going is slow.  I can hear someone telling the ticket taker that this section of track doesn’t exist.  I don’t understand why he would say that because it obviously did. We were on it.  I knew that just ahead, we would break out of the trees, the land would be flat, and the sky would be beautiful. I also knew I would wake up before we reached our destination in my own bed.

Funny how the mind works.

Tuesday devotions… are the day to honor the Holy Face of Jesus. Blessed Maria Pierina was told by Jesus. “I firmly wish that My Face reflecting the intimate pains of My Soul, the suffering and love of My Heart, be more honored,”

I am fortunate to be a member of the Catholic Church. Each day, there are opportunities to know Jesus more fully.

Sundays are little Easters

Mondays are devoted to the Holy Spirit

Wednesdays to St Joseph

Thursdays to the Last Supper and on 1st Thursday the act of reparation.

Friday are for penance and 1st Fridays for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. “In the excess of the mercy of My Heart, I promise you that My all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in My displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and My Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.”

We have grown lax in teaching these devotions to our children. In return for our sloth/or acedia in this area of our faith, hearts have grown luke warm to tepid. PROVERBS 16:18.

Jesus invites us to take up his cross daily LUKE 9:23. These devotions help us do that.

Know you are prayed for.
